A gardener planted some seedlings at equal distances apart along a straight road. The 3rd seedling and the 5th seedling were 9/10 apart. The 2nd seedling and the last seedling were 6 3/4 apart. How many seedlings did he plant?

17 seedlings

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The seedlings are at an equal distance in a straight line.

Distance between 3rd seedling and 5th seedling = 9/10 m

So, distance between 3rd seedling and 4th seedling = 9/10 ÷ 2 = 9/20 m

So, the distance between two seedlings in a line = 9/20 m

The given distance between 2nd seedling and the last seedling = 6 3/4 m = 27/4 m
